Description
The New York City transit system is complex and gigantic. It's loved and hated. The commuters and their environment are always interesting to observe. But parts of it are also very beautiful. Since 1985 The Metropolitan Transit Authority's Arts & Design program has commissioned notable artists to create works which embellish many New York City subway stations. Currently there are over 300 works of art scattered throughout the subway system.
Here we see one of the many Life Underground sculptures created by American sculptor Tom Otterness for the 14th Street - Eighth Avenue station (A C E L trains) of the New York City Subway. It was commissioned by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Arts for Transit program.
I didn't realize I had captured the whimsical byplay between the commuter and the sculpture until reviewing my pictures later.
